SINNOH ACCORDED
HONOR OF CLOSING
POWER DISCUSSION
Washington, May 31. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL.) To Representative ; Sinnott
of Oregon, 'chairman tof the pubilc
lands committee of the house, arid
a member of the conference com
mittee which finally put the water
power bill into shape, was accorded
the honor of closing the debate on
that measure. 1.
Sinnott devoted his time to a reply
to criticism by Representative White of
Maine (Rep.), - who was worried over
the definition of navigable streams con
talned in the bill, fearing that it means
too much federal Interference with the
states in relation to streams that are in
fact not navigable in their . upper
reaches. .
STATUS' HIGHTS" PROTECTED
Sinnott declared that the rights of the
states are protected, and that the defi
nition of navigable waters in the bill is
confined to the purpose of the act. - No
license for waterpower development can
be granted, be said, unless the applicant
first shows that he has complied with
the laws of the state, so the state may
require that the power shall be used in
a certain way, or attach other "condi
tions to protect its interests .
In the conference committee Sinnott
secured adoption of an amendment limit
ing the definition of the bill where it
says that streams shall be considered
'navigable "which either in their natural
or improved condition, notwithstanding
Interruptions by falls, Bhallows or
rapids" are suitable for commerce by
inserting "between , the navigable parts
of such streams" after the word "inter
ruptions." ,
PRODUCTION' PROVIDED FOR
"All through this bill the right of the
state is recognized," said Sinnott, "the
right to fix the charges to control the
securities, and if the state has no public
utilities commission and no law covering
that point, then the commission itself
fixes that.
"The bill also provides for efficient
power production, and that at the end
of the 60-year period the property, may
be taken over by paying the net invest
ment That does not mean what we
commonly refer to as the net investment.
It means that legitimate investment, the
legitimate expense put into the prop-'
ty. less, certain deductions . -
"If at the end of- the 60-year period it
is found that the licensee has made ex
cessive profits, then those excessive
profits are deducted from the net in
vestment, and to , that extent the net
investment is reduced. Also to the ex
tent that they are accumulated from
earnings in excess of a fair return thre
is also deducted the following:
"First-i-Unappropriated surplus. ,
"Second Aggregate credit -balances of
current depreciation accounts.
- "Third Aggregate appropriations of
surplus or income held in "amortization,
sinking fund or similar reserves, or ex
pended for additions or betterments or
used fori the purposes for which such
reserves were created.". c
Representative Sims of Tennessee,
leading the extreme conservation forces,
moved to recommit the bill to make a
further fight for unlimited regulation of
federal charges by the federal commis
sion, but was beaten, 86 to 209. All the
Northwest members were against this
motion and voted for the bill, which was
passed by 259 to 80.

Romance Ends When
Youngj Elopers Are
Found- in Vancouver
Their dream of romance shattered by
the arm of the law,. Gladys Christie, 13
years, and Elder ;0'Leary, 17 years, are
now repenting in' leisure what they- did
in haste, : - -
The two children, reported missing for
several days, had eloped. Friends of
Mrs. V. IKatz, 1280 Simpson street, the
mother of Gladys, carried the search for
the - two young : people to Vancouver,
where the two children were found. The'
children were taken Into custody by the
Vancouver officials and returned to
Portland 2:30 Sunday morning. Elder
O'Leary . has been turned over to the

RENTERS CALLED
BEFORE COMMITTEE
' Owners and lessees of seven apart
ment houses in; Portland f and an
owner of a rooming house have been
summoned to appear on Tuesday
afternoon at 4 o'clock before Mayor
Baker's committee of eight appointed
to investigate case of rent profit
eering. ';'. .-;'- : ir-'
They will , be asked ; to show cause
why they should not be given publicity
as profiteers or to refute investigator's
figures on profits they have made.
Those who have been asked to appear
before the committee are : I. Frohman,
Stelwyn apartments, 166 St. " Clair ; H.
Daniels, Glen , Court apartments, 202
Park street.;' J. Schaefer, Irving apart
ments, 689 Irving;-Mrs. T. Long, Audi

Eighteenth -and Couch; Mrs. -Ruby S.
Firebaugh, Belknap apartments, 187 Sev
enteenth ; Ben F. Welch, rooming house,
57514 East Burnside street.
' Apartment houses in .Portland are
making from 9.8 per cent to 68 per cent
on the capital .invested,', according to
Deputy City Attorney Lionel C. Mackay,
who has been making special investiga
tions with the aid of two detectives from
the police bureau. Bafed .on the report
of William C. Benkert, president of the
Philadelphia real estate board, that-a
gross profit of 13 per cent-is Justifiable
to secure a net- retuno of about per
cent, the investigators here believe that
the term "profiteering" should not be
attached to apartment house owners or
lessees who are within this limit.

Present Methods of
Distributing Freight
Oars Cause Protest
Protest against present methods of
freight car distribution whereby branch
line - industries are the last" to receive
assignments of rolling stock -was sent to
the' interstate commerce commission Sat
urday In telegrams . from mills located
on the Coos Bay line of the Southern
Pacific. That the car supply was only
35 per, cent "normal last year, with ' a
resulting-loss -of -40 per-cent of working
time to the mills was declared by the
W, P.". Dutton Lumber company," one
of those sending telegrams. The supply
so far this year Is only 30 per cent, it
Is declared, resulting in 50 per cent of
lost time, and great financial and labor
loss. '
- That the railroads, when appealed to,
constantly reiterate their inability to se
cure, empties from connecting lines, al
though 70 per cent of the product of the
mills affected is destined for Eastern
territory.
.Immediate relief is asked for from the
commission.
' It is pointed out that the mills on the
Coos Bay, and Tillamook branches are
Unable to ship out their product, which
has been piled on every avalable inch of
storage space and docks- - about the
plants. No more lumber can be cut until
the supply 'already piled is moved.
It ill also asserted that cars entering
Oregon from the south are sent on
through for loading and Eastern haul
over lines other than the Southern Pa
cific, which in turn has a hard time In
petting back as many cars as it sends
out. . " r
